PROJECT Q & A
WHAT IS THE CURRENT USAGE AND CAPACITY OF THE STEIN WATER SYSTEM? Based on the feasibility study conducted on August 9, 2023, for the Stein Water System Improvement Project, the current water system is operating at about 50% of its total capacity to meet the Maximum Daily Demand (MDD) flow (which is the highest amount of water used throughout the day). However, when it comes to the Peak Hour Demand (PHD) flow, the system is using all available capacity to meet the demand during the busiest hours. There are some areas within the system where the available storage for fire suppression is insufficient, which means that the system may not be adequately equipped to handle fire emergencies in those locations. In simpler terms, this means that while the water system can handle regular daily demands well, it might struggle to cope with sudden high demands, especially during peak hours, and there may be areas where firefighting capabilities are limited.
WILL THE NEW SUBDIVISION REDUCE WATER SUPPLY? The upgrades planned for the Stein Water System, including a new intake, reservoir, and system improvements, will ensure adequate water supply, including emergency and fire storage. The water system upgrades are designed to accommodate the 20-year forecasted on-reserve population; therefore, the upgrades are planned to provide capacity for the next 20 years at a minimum, based on the current rate of on-reserve population growth. Following the upgrades, ongoing monitoring and management of water resources will be essential to sustainably manage the supply over the long term. Concurrent with the design improvement of the Stein Water System, there are funding discussions with Indigenous Services Canada to start hydrologic review and water licensing on the Stein River to assess the amount of annual water flow needed to sustain an increase for Lytton First Nation water license. Alkali Road will be upgraded and designated as an Emergency Egress route for the Nuuautin 2B Subdivision and other homes on Alkali Road. Green Meadows Road will be designated as an Emergency Egress route and utilized temporarily during the construction phase of the project. WHAT WILL BE THE EMERGENCY ROUTE FOR THE NEW SUBDIVISION?
